Stripes or solids? Game plan? Note: this is a 7ft table.

I would take the solids starting with the six and pull back for the seven then the three and then the one off the eight opening up for the two next, then the five and four before the eight.
Stripes are no good.
 
solids

i think you can get out with the solids look like the 3 goes in the side ..you can move the 8 with the 1 to open up the 2

Oh come on, let it be more interesting :wink:

I was thinking along the same lines... but OK

Fire the CB into the left side of the 15 with draw, go rail first off the 7 to make the 9, then shoot the 14 in the corner and break out the 2 high balls on the top rail, run out

Collect the cash and watch him cry. :thumbup:
 
6 in the corner, follow 2 rails and come out below the 10
Try to get enough angle on the 7 to come off the rail and leave the cue below the 4
4 top side, cb follows for a straight shot at the 5 in the top left
3 ball in the side, cue ball left close to bottom rail
1 ball in bottom right corner and try to sneak the cb between the 8 and the 2
depending on the success with that last position, 2 in the top side or the bottom left corner
8 ball bottom right

.....as long as it's just 'on paper' LOL

in reality, I'm sure I botched the position on the 4, or knocked the 8 in trying to get on the 2 :p
 
Guys ... now .... ya don't want low balls. No pocket for the two. :slap: I'm afraid my way is the only way. :grin:
 
Opening shot is a doozy. Maybe start out playing safe, tap 12 and try to freeze up on 13.
 
These are almost my favorite racks. Even against a stron player I almost make him choose and just shoot safe at first. That way once I end up at the table hopefully he has taken some off the table. Easier for me to play lol up safes then. Now granted I'm a B player at best and maybe I'm way off here
 
Wow, I really tried to make your life miserable, but you seem to have found some nice solutions. Good job :) I'd probably do something like this:
1. 6 has a narrow opening, shoot it in the corner
2. Shoot as strong as I could at 4 to direct 3 in the direction of 1. One of them has to drop, and I most likely kicked 8 away from the pocket, so it's one bullet two (or more) kills :cool:
3. I'd go after 5 next, and by the time I pocket it, 7 or 2 should be open
4. Drop 2 and 7 (hopefully without much trouble)
5. Finish whatever's left
6. Play smart on 8, and if everything went according to plan, by the time I pocket it, the opponent won't even clean out their own balls
 
cross bank the 11 with right break the 12 13, play the 12 with strait left run up for the 15 play in corner little bit of top. play the 10 far corner touch of draw play the 9 in the corner 14 of the 8 lightly with top 13 in corner 8 in corner..... winning
